"I have had the pleasure of getting to know Richard the last four years as his firm is the International Society of Primerus law firm for the state of South Carolina. Richard is the current chair of the Primerus Consumer Law Institute. He is known nationally by his clients, his fellow trial lawyers and the bench as an exceptional and respected trial lawyer that has handled both commercial and injury lawsuits throughout his exemplary career. I will not hesitate to refer my clients to Richard if they are ever in need of legal services in South Carolina."
